hey guys i was wondering what all of you use for your dash. my dash for the passengers side is all dried up and its full of white marks it looks bad. do u use vinylex? i thought about getting it... any thing thats good any of you have use? thank you

 

some of us here use the Meguires Leather conditioner for the dash. it works pretty well and doesnt have the overly shiny look. just my .02

 

vinylex rocks, but is a bit pricey. worth the money though. but with any of these products you should make sure you get it evenly on, or it looks just a bit funny. and leather conditioner for the dash? hmmm interesting.

 

you should clean with a mild soap before applying anything - I use 303 or vinylex. I would not put a leather treatment on vinyl - they need different chemical treatment.

 

I use aerospace 303 and it works perfect. What color is your dash? Mine is black and I had the same problem as you.

 

Clean with woolite 1:6 with water to clean with good towel or MF towel. Dry with another and apply 303 Aerospace protectant. Do this once a month and the dash woul be in original condition all the time.

 

Run, don't walk, to the nearest Ace Hardware and meet your master:



There is a God. His name? 303 Aerospace Protectant. No slime like Armor All. No haze like Fantastik.

hehe i tried to find 303 but i went to ace hardware thats like 1 min from my house and they never heard of the thing....

 

There was a thread about this where I posted some blingtacular pictures that didn't really help anybody. so maybe I can help now.

Yeah all the Ace Hardware's near me didnt' ahve it either. I ended up finding it by accident in a pool store (Patio Pools in my area). They were selling the 303 stuff as pool cover conditioner..

I used it and it works PERFECTLY.. just make sure to mask off plastic parts you don't want it to get on first. Also.. how often should I use it? the white sploochy's are coming back and its only been about 2 weeks. I didn't put very much on the first time though.

 

I use 303 with great results...it doesn't shine like Armor All, and leaves a nice "matt" finish that doesn't streak or blotch...great stuff!!!

 

that being 1 part woollite - 6 parts water? I'll give this a try. I don't doubt they need a cleaning - I happened to vaccum the part of the dash above steering wheel - it's the pitted part of the dash - the big round hump thingy - I was able to make lines where I had sucked dust and debris etc...I was amazed how dirty it actually was.

 

Really Ace Hardware? Cool. All I could find was a small pump style bottle - at EMS. I will check ACE. I knew John Madden would know where to get it.

 

303 is basically the altimate sunblock for your car's vinyl/interior.
There are 2/3 sources on how to get this stuff. I've seen the 303 in auctions on ebay. They even auction it off in gallon containers. You can also log onto their website: www.303products.com There you can type in your address and it will locate the nearest retailer, or you can purchase it straight through them. I would price all three sources and buy whatevers most convenient with you.

 

I have used both the vinylex and 303 and I prefer the 303. The vinylex does fine but is more difficult to get an even appearance with it then 303.
